Along University Ave., in San Diego neighborhood North Park, two billboards that typically market local drug dispensaries warn about syphilis and gonorrhea. There are two! A block apart, straddling Louisiana and Texas streets.
Take my advice: Stop smoking pot and sleeping around. That’s how you reduce—or eliminate among faithful spouses—the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Advertising that changed from cannabis shops to STDs—drugs and sex—there is a connection.
I used Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to shoot the Featured Image, which is close-cropped to highlight both billboards. Vitals: f/1.7, ISO 10, 1/950 sec, 23mm (film equivalent); 1:31 p.m. PDT, today.
